Lytic gammaherpesvirus infection restricts host gene expression by promoting widespread degradation of cytoplasmic mRNA through the activity of the viral endonuclease SOX.Though generally assumed to be selective for cellular transcripts, the extent to which SOX impacts viral mRNA stability has remained unknown.We addressed this issue using the mode
Solar park management and design to boost bumble bee populations
Solar photovoltaics is projected to become the dominant renewable, with much capacity being installed as ground-mounted solar parks.Land use change for solar can affect ecosystems across spatial scales and solar parks offer a unique opportunity for ecological enhancement.One compelling potential benefit beginning to be deployed by the solar industr
Basic study on promotion of thawing frozen soil by shock loading
The aim of study is Microwaves to confirm a new technique that can crush the frozen soil and/or ice block using underwater shock wave generated by the underwater explosion of explosive.This technique can lead to the earlier sowing, which can have the larger harvest because the duration of sunshine increases.Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan
The role of Atg16 in autophagy, anthocyanin biosynthesis, and programmed cell death in leaves of the lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis).
Aponogeton madagascariensis, commonly known as the lace plant, produces leaves that form perforations by programmed cell death (PCD).Leaf development is divided into several stages beginning with "pre-perforation" furled leaves enriched with red pigmentation from anthocyanins.The leaf blade is characterized by a series of grids known as areoles bou
